Corn, Chorizo and Poblano Chowder
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
3 tbsp butter
8 oz fresh Mexican chorizo bulk sausage
1 large onion, minced
2 medium poblano chiles, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced, optional
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups half and half
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Crispy tortilla strips, shredded cheddar, chopped avocado, sliced jalapeño, cilantro, lime wedges, for garnish if desired
Directions
  1. Heat the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the onion, poblanos and jalapeño, if using, and continue cook until the vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes more. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
  2. Purée 1 cup of corn with 1 cup stock in a blender. Pour the mixture into the Dutch oven and add the remaining stock along with the potatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.
  3. Stir in the corn kernels, tomatoes, half and half and cream and cook for another 5 minutes, until hot. Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish as desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tip: Mexican chorizo, the one we are using in this recipe, is uncooked. Spanish chorizo is cured and will not work in this recipe.
